REPORTS OF COMMITTEES, BOARDS, AND COMMISSIONS

PARK AND RECREATION BOARD

PRELIMINARY PLAN - SILVER LAKE PARK - CAMPUS DRIVE: Kathy Kelly, a member of the Park and Recreation Board, presented a preliminary
plan for Silver Lake Park. Ms. Kelly said the park is located off the Bypass in front of Lockheed-Martin, and access to the park
will be from Campus Drive. A 22-space parking lot with two handicapped spaces will be built near the entrance. The parking lot and the
driveway are the improvements that are budgeted for in 2004 for a cost of $45,000. Additional improvements proposed for the next three
years include: a five foot wide macadam walking trail around the park perimeter which will connect with the Newtown Trail; an informal
(upgraded) ballfield with a backstop; a fountain which will aerate Silver Lake; and a picnic area with outdoor furniture and some
landscaping.

Ms. Kelly said the Planning Commission discussed this plan at their 2/17/04 meeting and suggested that the plan be discussed
with Lockheed-Martin. This was done, and a written response has been requested but not received yet. The Planning Commission also
suggested that a guardrail be installed on the first part of the driveway because there is a steep slope; that vehicular access to
the walking path be blocked; that the distance of the trail loop be posted; and that a sign be placed on the Bypass indicating the
park’s location. The Park and Recreation Board are studying all of these recommendations.

Mr. Goodnoe asked about the phasing of the park improvements. Ms. Kelly said the Supervisors received copies of the relevant section
of the Capital Improvement Plan showing the driveway and parking lot planned for 2004; the landscaping, the fountain, and the backstop
for 2005; and the trail for 2007.

Mr. Jirele suggested that the trail be built in 2005 and the other improvements in 2007 so that there will be pedestrian access to
the improvements when they are built. Ms. Kelly said she would discuss this point with the Park and Recreation Board.

Mr. Jirele asked if any cost estimates for future improvements have been collected; Ms. Kelly responded that they have not.

Discussion of motion: Mr. Goodnoe asked for clarification of the motion. Mr. Harp said he intended approval of the land
plan only, not the expenditures projected for future years.

Mr. Harp’s motion passed unanimously.

SYCAMORE STREET COMMITTEE: Committee Chairman Vince Lombardi reported on their 2/10/04 meeting. Representatives of Haines

PLANNING COMMISSION: Commission member Frank Mendicino reported on their 2/17/04 meeting. The Township Planner presented an
orientation session on zoning issues, the Commission completed its review of the Economic Development Committee’s recommendations regarding

use and preliminary plan applications for Tudor Square Phase III with several conditions, reviewed and recommended no opposition to
a Zoning Hearing Board application, and tabled several items because of the late hour.

results of the surveys recently performed by the JDNC. A featured speaker will be Malcolm Johnstone, the Executive Director of the

it has not.

Nancy Crescenzo, a Township resident, said she saw a large quantity of mud running onto Eagle Road from this site during a
rainstorm, as well as trucks tracking mud onto the road. She said she also heard from neighbors of the site that access to their
driveways has been blocked.

Mr. Smith said this is the first complaint he has heard recently, and he will investigate the situation.

Walter Iwaskiw, a Township resident, said he lives across the street from the construction site and has complained about the mud
before. He said the builder has set up a wash area at the northern construction entrance, but most of the trucks use the southern entrance.

Frank Mendicino, a Township resident, said he would like the group advocating for a home rule study commission to provide more
information to the public. He also said this group is active because it is dissatisfied with the decisions of the majority of the
Supervisors, and he discussed some recent letters in the local newspaper.

Nancy Crescenzo said it is inappropriate for a speaker to criticize other citizens during the Community Comments period.

Mr. Mendicino asked Mr. Jirele and Mr. Goodnoe to give their opinion of the Township’s present form of government. Mr. Jirele
responded that Mr. Mendicino could call him at home to discuss this issue.

Mr. Jirele also asked why Mr. Mendicino is running for a position on the study commission if he is opposed to it. Mr. Mendicino
responded that he is concerned about the motives of the group advocating it and the cost of increasing the size of Township government.

Del Purscell, a Township resident, spoke in favor of studying the government and reforming it. He expressed concerns about the
present government’s responsiveness, financial management, appointment process, and attitude towards the business community.

Charles Weiner, a Township resident, said there is a great deal of information about the home rule study issue in the newspapers.

Nancy Crescenzo said some recent decisions by the Board of Supervisors have been friendlier towards the business community.
She asked if the Board would discuss the possibility of a community center and an environmental council. Mr. Weaver responded that
he has asked Mr. Pellegrino to collect information on environmental councils and community centers from other municipalities.

Glenn Beasley, a Township resident, said residents will be asked on the primary election ballot if they want to study the government
and make recommendations. Voters will say yes or no, and elect nine members of a study commission. When the commission’s recommendations
are presented, voters will have the opportunity to vote on the recommendations. Mr. Beasley announced that the first in a series of
information sessions on this subject would take place on 3/16/04 at a location to be announced. The featured speaker will be Fred
Reddig, the Deputy Director of the Governor’s Center for Local Government Services. Mr. Beasley also said Mr. Reddig has stated the
study will cost between $20,000 and $30,000.
